a few sketch studies of them. I need to figure out how I'd like to stylize... Viggo in particular is super hard for me to get down lately, I borrowed the edit @elfinkaliy and @ivygeorgi had made as a reference <33
art requests are still open btw! please come talk to me about these idiots-
Another ship dynamic i like is dagur being viggos guard dog the way mac from always sunny is dennis' guard dog
Just like...completely desperate to please and increasingly emotionally dependent. Being absolutely played like a puppet but too infatuated to care.
Does viggo love him? Ehh?? Maybe in his own way? But it's definitely about power and desire.
Dagur will do something absolutely violent and terrible on viggos orders and then turn to him for validation like - did i do it right? Are you happy?? Do i have your affection now???
Viggo gives him emotional scraps like a slight nod, a small smile or "yes, you did well, i suppose", and it makes his dagurs whole day.
This is a ship that I've been thinking about for a long time, and the more I think about it, more I like.
There's practically nothing about them, and, when there's, it's always about Hiccup and him at the center. But I wanted to explore just Dagur and Viggo, I think they both have a lot of potential.
I have some fun ideas that I want to draw, and maybe do mini comics.
I always liked the idea of Viggo never had much experience with relationships, this is normally part of my headcanon of him being aroace, but here would be another reason. Because he was heir, then a chief and a very cold and distant person, people never tried to get close to him intimately because they were afraid.
Everyone except Dagur, because he has no idea of danger.
For me, Dagur is an open book. His emotions are so strong that it shows through him. And he always says what he thinks, without thinking about the consequences.
Think of a version where Viggo joins his brother earlier, or Dagur not leaving after freeing Heather.
I imagine Dagur constantly flirting with Viggo, because yes, he's a dick and annoying, but he's hot, you can't deny it. But Viggo is always ruthless and has no qualms about threatening him.
*after Viggo threateningly asks Dagur to leave for flirting with him again*
Ryker: Are you crazy? You have no idea of the danger, do you?
Dagur: It's not my fault if your brother doesn't know how to have fun
Viggo goes straight to his room, and there, alone, he becomes a complete emotional mess. Your face turns completely red and feels like it's going to burn.
Viggo doesn't like Dagur. He doesn't even feel attracted to him. But it's the first time someone has shown any interest in him, it's uncomfortable but exciting at the same time. He's never been through this before and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
After a while Dagur gives up flirting with Viggo. And, strangely instead of feeling relieved, Viggo misses the attention. And against all his code and morals, he goes to confront Dagur about this and their conversation turns to something else. A hint: it's sex
*after a hot and wild sex, Dagur is completely satisfied and happy. Viggo is also equally satisfied , but very angry*
Viggo: This doesn't mean anything okay? This will never happen again and if you talk about this to anyone I swear I'll make you wish for death.
I couldn’t get these two out of my head recently and decided to go back nd draw some of my early ideas of them bonding over their admiration for this dragon
I can just imagine them nerding out and spoiling the dragon together as they get to spend more time learning more about him
to my ryker/dagur and dagur/viggo freaks (non derogatory) - im trying to figure out how i want to write the dynamic in which ryker and viggo are competing with each other.
the first thought i had was that ryker and dagur would get together first - it makes sense, seeing as ryker and dagur spend a lot more time together than dagur and viggo do. i can also see ryker begrudgingly getting close to dagur...maybe not being in love but definitely having affection for him - and then viggo seeing that and suddenly his desire for dagur pretty much coming out of a desire to take something away from his brother. it would make ryker so upset because why cant viggo just let him have ONE GODSDAMNED THING FOR HIMSELF? and viggo would be a smug prick about it.
but on the other hand...i think it would be very funny for ryker to get with dagur after viggo did as an act of rebellion. like viggos always belittling him so he gets a little revenge but then oh shit why does he kind of like this ridiculous, annoying man? why is he growing on him? and viggo would be like i order you to stop sleeping with dagur, he's mine, and rykers like....mmm nah, dont think so.
i think either way dagur would love the attention and try to break up their fights like "boys, boys youre both pretty" and theyd go shut up dagur this isnt about you- and then he's deeply offended like "what do you mean its not about me? how is it not about me???"
like yes they both desire dagur but a lot of it is just using him an extension of their sibling rivalry
i also think viggo/dagur is very much about dagur pleasing viggo and getting validation out of that, meanwhile ryker/dagur is just uh...dagur getting absolutely obliterated
ok so honestly this is more of a viggo/dagur song. viggur? daggo? what's the judgement on this? I prefer viggur.
anyway this song perfectly matches the viggo/dagur dynamic in the fic im working on in which dagur is an absolute simp for viggo, who treats him like an annoying stray dog
but I also think it would be hilarious from this song to be from both hiccup and viggo's perspective. like verse 1 is hiccup annoyed that he's attracted to dagur and verse 2 is definitely viggo's pov. like perfectly describes my fic. i love it so much.
the fact that its sexy dance music only makes it better to me. i can see this being very good mood music for a modern au
bolded the parts that apply the most
Verse 1:
Stupid boy, I hate your guts (I hate your guts)
Let's mess around, we'll make it rough
You try to look, I see you dance
You wear your heart inside your pants
Stupid boy (Stupid boy), let's keep it clear
That I decide (That I decide), when you come here
You move around (You move around) and I do too
I am so happy that I'm not you (That I'm not you)
Verse 2 (the viggo/dagur part!!!):
Stupid boy (So stupid), get off my nuts (Get off my nuts)
You talk a big game, I'll call your bluff
You blab ah blab ah blabbing won't shut the fuck up
Stay brag a lag a lagging you acting too tough
Got a big dick habit, can't never get enough
Got you gag a gag a gagging when you choking on my stuff
Boy you, boy boy you dumb
Thinking that you gon' get you some
Boy you, boy you, boy boy you dumb
Boy you, boy you, boy boy you dumb
You stupid, so stupid
So careless, so clueless
You got the club like, "Ew"
I'm so happy I'm not you
